Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 30, 2014 -- Selexis SA, a serial innovation company with proven technologies for biologic drug discovery and mammalian cell line development, announced today new data from the Company’s SURE CHO-Mplus Libraries™ will be presented at the 10th Annual Cell Line Development and Engineering conference being held, September 8 – 10, 2014 at the Double Tree by Hilton Berkeley Marina in Berkeley, California.

The following abstract will be presented during an oral presentation:

Title: Genome Engineering Using Larger or Multiple Inserts

Presenter: Pierre-Alain Girod, PhD, Chief Science Officer
• Session Date/Time: Monday, September 8, 2014 at 9:45 AM
• Session Detail: Progress in Host Cell Engineering tract

Utilizing the data from the completed CHO-M Genome and Transcriptome project, we identified areas in the CHO-M secretory pathway where key secretory pathways proteins levels were either missing or expressed at inappropriate levels. We concurrently developed a vector system that allowed us to engineer the CHO-M secretory pathway by inserting multiple genes into the genome simultaneously. Using this technology, we generated a panel of CHO-based libraries consisting of multiple genes addressing key issues associated with effective translation, translocation and secretion. A case study evaluating co-expression of multiple chaperones simultaneously on recombinant protein production levels will be presented.
